Provocative, a collision of images that bring together innocents and carnal activity.

I love it Vikki — Awesome, and the little girl scares me! Definitely beyond the boundaries.

Hi all-
Thanks. She is strange little girl. LOL. I think our subject may bring that forth more than my image…but you know, there’s nothing more scary than a ‘creepy’ little kid. Remember the Omen? Damien was ‘so precious and perfect’.
To funny.

Yea, that’s the word for it, “creepy” kid and that is always SCARY.

Like a cobra rearing up and poised to strike, she doesn’t seem to need the sword at all lol. Great portrayal of obliterating the boundary between tough and tender. I am in love with it !

Thank you again. I have to admit I chuckled constantly threw the painting as I worked. I think all women have a little bit of creepy girl in them.

Vikki, no body but you could make a creepy little girl a really good painting! Your genius is amazing. I am always most excited at the Challenge premiers to see what you will do this time!
I also loved your use of the limited palette. Great idea!

Lol…begging the question with all the talk of creepiness…What’s she gearing up for..how is she going to use that sword? With her ballerina outfit…is she about to do some kind of macabre dance….

Thanks Beckie and Kinberley,
Tis only those that dare to be daring that find the secrets of life. You’d have to read my blog to get the real story behind this little wench.

She has to be one of mine! My husbands knickname (coached many a baseball game while the kids were growing up) was IggyRagu. Her uniqueness shouts HEAR ME ROAR as well as knowing this child will make a difference in life! Much like you Miss VIkki

That’s so funny! And ‘Hear me Roar’ is the only way to take on this world. lol.
Thanks – you make me smile.
